The ex-wirehouse advisers are partnering with Stanley Hochhauser, an industry veteran of more than 50 years.

The high-net-worth practice makes 41 firms in the platform’s network — two times as many as competitor HighTower.

It’s the third wirehouse team to move to HighTower's outsourcing service this year.
